As I stated in this post, back last 28th November 19 I installed Asterisk 16.6.1 & FreePBX 15.0.16.22 using a pre-built image which I burned to an SD card on a Rasp Pi 4. I then left it while I concentrated on Home Automation on the Pi 4 (i.e. substantial other s/w has been added). Later I moved all the SD card to one of 3 partitions on an SSD. I have a full backup of the partitions made with rsync. Recently I decided it was time to implement the Asterisk/PBX system, so the first thing was to go...

Back last 28th November 19 I installed Asterisk 16.6.1 & FreePBX 15.0.16.22 using a pre-built image which I burned to an SD card on a Rasp Pi 4. This still seems to be the current image. (BTW, I've been running Asterisk 13 & FreePBX 13 on a Pi Zero for many years). After configuring, including setting – Advanced Settings “Set Module Admin to Edge Mode” to Yes, I downloaded about 25 modules. This all went OK and I left it while I concentrated on Home Automation on the Pi 4. Today I decided it was...

Thanks zeler. I was intending to connect the Obi110 to my router (the Obi110 does not have a WAN port). The router has NAT, which I always thought meant no packet could come in unless a request packet went out.. This article https://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/NAT+and+VOIP confirms NAT is a problem for telephony. I do have multiple IP addresses that I presume could be assigned to different SIP phones by configuring the router and/or the Asterisk system.

Thanks zeler and Jon. I've now ordered a OBi110 so if I get problems I might be asking for some help from your script Jon ;) Re exposing the PBX to outside with a gateway on my LAN. Wouldn't I need to port forward on my router in order to receive incoming calls? Note I have read the Fail2Ban article re increasing security. My initial plans are for landline call screening/filtering, answerphone and voice mail (i.e. no incoming SIP calls). Re SSD cards. On another Home Automation forum some users are...

Thanks Guys. When I looked on ebay there weren't any SPA3102 but I see there is one now at £55 secondhand. One concern for me is that if I expose the PBX to outside to allow inward calls then the firmware needs to be kept uptodate with threats. So the Obi110 seems better, if just for a year or so. Seems there isn't a market for devices that bridge to landlines; presumably because so many people have mobiles and all inclusive plans. In many ways having dedicated RaspPi for each application makes sense,...

Hi. First, it's great to see this community has created a RaspPi version of Asterisk :) I'm looking to get use Asterisk on a RaspPi with an OBi110-UK even though support ends at the end of 2017, but I cannot see any alternative that supports a PSTN line) (the OBi202 requires a OBiLine adapter costing another £30 and reviews are poor). I'm also developing a RaspPi loft monitoring system using NodeJS, Node-Red and Mosquitto MQTT broker. I may also install openHAB Home Automation which uses Oracle Java...
